IP68/IP69K sealing and a sealing gland backshell provide robust ingress protection, which translates to lower field failure rates and reduced service downtime in outdoor and washdown environments. The six gold-plated solder cups offer durable, corrosion-resistant connections that maintain signal integrity over time, supporting reliable automation and control in harsh plant areas. A 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast, tool-free mating, cutting maintenance time and improving line uptime on conveyors, packaging, and rugged equipment. The connector’s compact footprint, straight plug orientation, and Neoprene insert simplify panel layouts and cable routing while preserving sealing performance under vibration per IEC 60512-4. Durable materials and a 63.2 mm length with 26.7 mm width/height ensure compatibility with tight enclosures and diverse harness configurations. This combination reduces total cost of ownership by lowering replacement frequency and installation complexity.
